Seagull and Pigeon go leaf surfing with the squirrels from the big tree

Seagull and Pigeon are going leaf surfing with the squirrels from the big tree!

I’ve had the idea of them leaf surfing for a while, so when I found out the topic for Illustration Friday
this week was tree, it seemed like a good fit. I decided to add the
squirrels, because like the pigeon and the seagull, squirrels are
abundant in my neighborhood. We also have black squirrels, which I’d
never seen before I moved here, so I included a couple of them in this
drawing, along with a grey squirrel. I’m still drawing every day for DaDraMo (Daily Drawing Month)! If you want to join me, there’s still time. Click here for more info.
A quick follow up to Monday’s post: as you might have seen on the
news, we got hit again this week with a nor’easter. Some people that
just got their power back lost it again, and there are many that still
don’t have power or places to live due to Hurricane Sandy. If you’re
looking for ways to help, there’s a list below.

For Occupy Sandy, there are two sets of listings below. One for New York. One for New Jersey. Both need help.

like cleaning supplies, blankets, and diapers, and have them shipped
directly to Occupy Sandy in New York, who will distribute to the people
who need them.)
